The card's fake, and here's proof:
The Star for the Colorless symbol is way too big. It's 50% bigger than it normally is.
The "Illus. Ryo Ueda" is in the wrong font.
The effect text for the attacks (known as "flavor text") is unevenly spaced between letters.
And here's another test: Hold the card sideways so you're looking at the edge. Hold it at the top with two fingers, and the bottom with your thumb. Then try bending it by pushing your fingers and thumb closer together, but not by much, and softly, like your fingers are being bounced on a trampoline. Certain types of fake cards bend easier, and therefore, they are thinner. Legit cards are rather thick and don't bend as easily.

Sorry buddy; I learn these tricks from going to a TCG league on the weekends, and I know all the ways to spot fake cards.
The quality of the photo was bad, but not bad enough so that I couldn't discern anything.

Dang.. thats what i though... the font for the lightning/metal type is what i caught.. this means that my flareon ex is also fake...xP >< stupid conterfeiters!! (and i have no idea why the pic quality is so bad.. looked fine on my comp.)

Well to try bringing hopes up check out any cards you have from the original card packs (such as Jungle, Series 2, Rocket so and and so forth) I can't believe how many mistakes I have found on my old cards. The rarest is a Scyther I got in a Jungle pack that's missing the symbol. some of my others where cards with inncorrect copyrights like two of my Kakuna cards I got in separate packs, I can never remember what the series is called its the one with the temple for a symbol. There Are plenty of cards that aren't noticable errors at first glance so be sure to take a close look.
